Title: ID required for Green Glass
Post by: thebashstreetkid on April 17, 2011, 05:01:55 AM

Items were my grandmothers (1888-1968).  No identifying marks that I could see.  The bowl and the jugs don't appear to exactly match, but the bowl did have 6 footed goblets and 2 glasses with handles at one time (now sadly gone).

 :hi: and welcome to GMB!
Please, would you tell us where you are situated?
The bowl looks Australian to me - just a wild guess !  :pb:

I'm in England.  As far as I'm aware we have no relatives in Australia although my great-grandfather (my grandmother's father) was Italian.

You're better off posting a piece at a time in separate threads please. Your large jug looks like a Sowerby 2481 5.5 in jug from the water set. I can't see your small jug well enough, but it looks like the 2481 cream jug. Difficult to tell from the picture but I would say they were well post war because of the colour (earlier ones look more yellow green and contain uranium, like this one http://lustrousstone.co.uk/cpg/displayimage.php?pid=874)

Thank you very much - I took a look on the internet and found an amber Sowerby jug with one of the footed goblets which I remember my grandmother had, so it seems definitely Sowerby.  Any idea about the bowl?  It is defintely a lighter green than the jugs with a hint of yellow when compared to the jugs.
